Toyota recalls two, just two, 2010 Tundras

The troubles keep mounting for Toyota as the company announced that the number of Toyota, Lexus and Scion vehicles that have been recalled will be going up by two. No, not two million... just two. That means the company has now recalled 8,500,002 vehicles in the past several months. This most recent recall involves a pair of four-wheel-drive Toyota Tundra pickups that may have an improperly welded front propeller shaft.

No word on whether or not these two are also covered by the frame rust issue, but the weld at the point where the propeller shaft and yoke meet could separate, and if the shaft made contact with the ground while in motion, the Tundra could contend for the gold in pole vaulting at the 2012 London Olympics. If nothing else, Toyota might nab a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest and smallest recalls announced in a given year with this tiny callback.

Reported comments and users are reviewed by Autoblog staff 24 hours a day, seven days a week to determine whether they violate Community Guideline. Accounts are penalized for Community Guidelines violations and serious or repeated violations can lead to account termination.

Why this is news is utterly stupid, that says a lot! I was watching for Honda's recall news and the others no, they are a no show on here and AB is suddenly mute on that, always driving that "hang Toyota" propaganda! I'm not saying greedy Toyota is squeaky clean but please AB, get off their nuts already, haven't the D3 paid you guys enough already, or this is just a freebie? Apart from Toyota recalls, there's nothing exciting here anyway, I'm out!

Well seeing as the problem was discovered over a month ago when someone was dyno-testing a Tacoma and it's taken this long to figure out that Tundras are also affected since Dana made the shafts for them too and to figure out two of the Tundras had slipped out and been sold, I'd hardly say this is exactly an example of stellar quality control. More like slightly slow on figuring things out and not watching their suppliers closely enough.
